Personal Goals I Want to Achieve as a University of Phoenix Student
Until now I have never been asked to write about my personal goals in a paper. So, as I
sat down to brainstorm, I discovered that I did not have very many goals. I found that I listed
more reasons to achieve my goals than actual goals. This made writing this paper a great deal
harder than I thought. Although, the results were very interesting since I had to think about what
I wanted out of life and why. I realized I have educational, personal and career goals that I
want to achieve.
My educational goals are learning how to gather, retain, plan and use the information
that I am learning. I must relearn how to be a student. I must read, research, explain, write and
report information. I intend to use the Universitys library and the internet and my peers to help

Another goal is to get a bachelor degree in accounting. I realize getting my degree will
take me a little longer than most to obtain my degree because I am planning to drop out of
school during tax season. I cannot work two jobs and go to school at the same time. It would
not be fair to other students or me because I could not devote the amount of time it takes. But,
once I have completed my degree maybe I can continue to further my education; who knows
maybe even complete my masters degree. Completing my degree should enable me to get a
better job and make more money. I do like my current job and my coworkers but I do not
respect the managers. They are the worst professionals I have ever worked for. For this
reason, I always keep my eyes open for a better job. There have been several jobs advertised
that requires a bachelor degree. I would never apply even though I have the experience; I did
not think they would hire me. Sometimes I would apply just to get an interview; even though I
knew I would not get the job. I figure it would give me more experience for the future.
Many jobs required a licensed CPA but I do not want to be a CPA. Hopefully, my degree and
experience will qualify me for the job. If not, it was not meant to be.
My career goal is quite simple. I would like advance in the accounting field maybe go
into finance. To reach these goals I must do several things. I need learn to trust people.
Dealing with the public, I am told many lies and excuses which tends to make me not trust
people. As each day
